Santa Monica College to Adopt Tiered Pricing System

Faced with state funding cuts, Santa Monica College can't keep up with student demand. So the governing board has approved a plan to provide extra classes after the regular ones are full. There's a catch. Regular classes will cost $46 a unit, but the extras will be $180. We hear more from SMC President Chui Tsang and from SMC student trustee Joshua Scuteri, who cast his advisory vote against the two-tier pricing plan.

Note: Santa Monica College owns the license for KCRW, and provides space on the campus for this radio station.
